Lodi Ag Fair
Quilt Turning
LVQG has been putting on a good ol' fashioned quilt turning at the Lodi Fair for many years. Quilts are collected from members of the community, the history of each quilt is colorfully summarized and shared with a packed tent. Many a tear has been shed and a hardy laugh heard during this event.
How to Register for the Quilt Turning:
Click HERE to open the Quilt Turning form. Save the pdf form on your computer using your first and last name, year, and the quilt name. For example: JaneDoe2022DadsQuilt.pdf
Fill in the form and add any information you would like to share about the quilt. Save the changes on your computer, and email the form to LodiValleyQuiltersGuild@gmail.com by June 27th. You can also print the form and mail it to Joyce Hach before June 27th (see form for details).
Quilt Turning drop off is July 7th and 8th, and pickup is on July 9th.

Karen Bender will be collecting blocks at our in-person Guild meetings. Click HERE for the directions for this year's Floating Churn Dash block. The blocks can also be sent to the National Office.
Let's see how many we can make! Contact Karen at bender4@centurytel.net if you have any questions.
